Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Rishi Sunak advocated for CBDCs last October, encouraging the development of a digital sterling, ‘Britcoin’, as Chancellor of the Exchequer under Boris Johnson.
A spokesperson at , commented on the findings:
“The idea of digital money isn’t new. Bitcoin exploded onto the market with its price skyrocketing over the last few years. As grow in popularity and become the norm, central banks provide an alternative.
CBDCs are different because it is government-backed digital money. Central banks have realised that they cannot beat Bitcoin, and now they want a piece of the action. The key difference between CBDCs and crypto is that the idea of crypto is to decentralise financial power.
CBDCs ensure that the value and control of currency remains in the hands of governments, banks and financial elites, but could also mean widespread adoption of digital banking across nations like never before.
With Rishi Sunak appointed as the new UK Prime Minister, we will likely see a further push for the adoption of CBDCs that we saw when he was in the role of Chancellor of the Exchequer.”
